​
Following the warm response to their recent lunchtime concert at the National Concert Hall, Emilie Conway and her band is delighted to present their exploration of the music from Brazil, inviting you to bask in beautiful melodies, the warmth of the Portuguese language, the lyricism of its poets, its gentle swaying grooves and lively sambas.

​Increasingly noted by critics for her creativity, ​Emilie created and presented a celebration of the life and work of writer and social diarist Maeve Brennan, "You Won't Forget Me," in the hip Cornelia St Café in New York and at the National Concert Hall, last September where it sold out.
